Abstract
De novo thrombosis of the inferior vena cava (IVC) can cause significant morbidity and mortality. Calcified thrombus of IVC is an extremely rare incidental finding and is associated with recurrent deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). We present a case of abdominal pain secondary to a calcified thrombus in the supra-hepatic region of the IVC.
